The human brain performs complex tasks using only about 20 watts, inspiring neuromorphic computing, which mimics the brain’s energy-efficient, event-driven processing by combining memory and computation more closely. These systems could reduce energy use, improve real-time processing, and keep sensitive data on devices, but they are likely to complement rather than replace conventional CPUs and GPUs.
